Hi Jakub,

I do understand the feeling here :(

But I do hope that you reconsider your position here. We had such a great
experience with the drm-ras using the netlink and I was really hoping that
we could just reproduce the same experience here.

Netlink is such an incredible API.

Would it help if I take the maintainership of this drm-fabric netlink
along with the drm-ras one, ensuring the same consistent and clean usage?

Thanks,
Rodrigo.
